歌词
[Intro] [Verse] I walk the floor where linoleum peels Touching the rust on the celestial wheels Adjust the Zeiss, hear the gears click Old magic tricks make the pulse quick The velvet seats leak foam from seventy-four But we’re leveling the score behind this door Faded star charts taped to the plaster Racing the dark, trying to move faster I’m the keeper of a dying light In a city that forgot the night [Pre-Chorus] Dust on the lens, cracks in the glass Watching the seasons and the satellites pass Nobody cheers for the man with the map Closing the gap in the gravity trap [Chorus] Starlight stewardship under a rusted lid Feeding the wonder of a neighborhood kid The skyline is bright, the cosmos is dim But we’re mapping the edge of the outer rim Yeah, we’re holding the flame In a world with no name Just a spark in the black And we ain't looking back [Post-Chorus] Keep the dome spinning slow Watch the nebula glow Keep the dome spinning slow Watch the nebula glow [Verse] Ten-year-old eyes wider than Hubble frames Forget the zip code and the trouble names I see a future in a chipped convex Solving the why and the complicated next Underfunded dreams in a concrete box Picking the locks on the orthodox I show 'em Saturn and the rings of ice Worth every sacrifice, worth every price They see a world beyond the street light I see a spark taking flight tonight [Pre-Chorus] Dust on the lens, cracks in the glass Watching the seasons and the satellites pass Nobody cheers for the man with the map Closing the gap in the gravity trap [Chorus] Starlight stewardship under a rusted lid Feeding the wonder of a neighborhood kid The skyline is bright, the cosmos is dim But we’re mapping the edge of the outer rim Yeah, we’re holding the flame In a world with no name Just a spark in the black And we ain't looking back [Bridge] Grants dried up like a Martian sea But curiosity is still the legacy They want a parking lot where Orion sits I’m finding where the lion fits It’s a quiet collapse, a slow decay But I’m sweeping the stardust away Every single day To keep the dark at bay [Verse] I’m the janitor of a galaxy Fighting the gravity of apathy Manual crank for the solar system Waiting for the world to finally listen When the bulb burns out, I find a spare Because the kids are still standing there Looking up with a heavy grace Finding their place in the deep space Uncelebrated work in a hollow dome Building a bridge to a cosmic home [Chorus] Starlight stewardship under a rusted lid Feeding the wonder of a neighborhood kid The skyline is bright, the cosmos is dim But we’re mapping the edge of the outer rim Yeah, we’re holding the flame In a world with no name Just a spark in the black And we ain't looking back [Outro]
